The flour tortillas at this Montrose smokehouse are made with smoked brisket fat, which tells you what kind of place The Pit Room is. It holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand and earns it on the basics: prime brisket, beef ribs, and sides that actually have opinions, like charred beans with real heat. Breakfast tacos run until mid-morning. In a city where great barbecue often requires a calendar, the fact that the line moves and seating exists feels almost radical.

How we scoreThe dishes from the writeups
-
Breakfast tacos
“The Pit Room is just as lauded for breakfast tacos, rich brisket-fat flour tortillas stuffed with smoked meats.”
Eater -
Macaroni and cheese
“Expect the typical meat plates, served with a choice of sides, including a decadent macaroni and cheese.”
Houstonia -
Charred beans
“Speaking of sides, the refreshing marinated tomato salad or the surprisingly spicy charred beans pack a lot more flavor than expected.”
